Re: Why won't the Dropbox icon stay in my menu bar?
Hello Warren J.
On macOS, the Dropbox icon can also disappear when there are more icons added by apps than available space in the menu bar. What I found useful is an app called Bartender which allows one to customize the icons shown in the menu bar. In my case, I used it to set the Dropbox app icon to be part of the icons that are always shown.
Hope this helps,
